About Us
The Weisters Family has been involved in textiles since 1932, when J.H. Godfrey Weisters arrived in the UK from Krefeld, Germany. Since then, the company has seen many changes but has always remained loyal to its belief in quality, good customer service and attention to detail.
Platinum Bridal Fabrics is a new venture launched in 2010, with the aim of moving closer to the market place and especially driving sales of our “in-house” woven Jacquard Brocades. This extensive range is supplemented with an ever expanding range of wedding laces, appliqués, crystal edgings, plain fabrics and many other products chiefly for making wedding dresses.
In 2012, the company employs 66 people across 2 sites and makes a wide variety of products, including Club, School and Corporate Ties and Scarves, Contract Curtain fabric, Ecclesiastical wear, Badges, Epaulettes and Made to Measure Shirts.
We look forward to continued success in partnership with our many customers and suppliers.
